Playing in the Dark & Art on my Mind Toni Morrison's Playing in the Dark: Whiteness and the Literary Imagination and Bell Hooks' Art on My Mind: Visual Politics are both works of nonfiction that center on the idea of cultural identity and its politics related to art and literature. Hooks is, of course, a forerunner in the critique of African-American culture and Art on My Mind closely examines the world of creating art in an environment that is overly concerned with politics having to do with identity. Hooks has long been known as a writer that is deeply interested in what is happening with the black community and what struggles that community faces. She examines in her book how art can be something that is empowering for the black community, however, she is discouraged by the lack of interest by critics to non-white art. Morrison, likewise, wants to empower the black community, which is precisely what she aspires to do in her book Playing in the Dark: Whiteness and the Literary Imagination by bringing attention to the misrepresentation of African-Americans or complete ignoring of them in literature. Morrison puts for the importance of the presence of the African community into such terms pushing her point by saying, "the very manner by which American literature distinguishes itself as a coherent entity exists because of this unsettled and unsettling population" (Morrison 6). This statement is in reference to her belief that there is a non-white creation in literature that supports white views while at the same times oppressing non-whites....
This is done because of a lack of different views being expressed among critics.

While it is mystical, it gives too much quiescence that is there with the impressionistic style.
